Paul Simon on Late Night (1982)

An interesting interview with Paul Simon on David Letterman's Late Night. It is pre Graceland, and post Concert in Central Park.  There is a human quality that is almost as good as the early days of low budget PBS programming. Among other things, Simon talks about the Concert in Central Park and the events that resulted in his writing "The Late Great Johnny Ace." He also sings a few lines of "Citizen of the Planet," which he says is "half written" (it became a song several years later and was sung at the Simon & Garfunkel "Old Friends Reunion Tour" in 2003).
